Lets's calculate LCM of 220,8575
5 | 220, 8575 |
44, 1715 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 44 x 1715 = 377300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/377300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1959/220,2642/8575 is 1/377300
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 220,8575 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,8575) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,8575) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(220,8575) = ( 220 × 8575 ) / 5
LCM(220,8575) = 1886500 / 5
LCM(220,8575) = 377300
